Chapter 632
Christina started her flint business.
Even if the Barbarians had no experience in doing business, the reason why the lighter and matches
sold so well in the Barbarian Market was probably that the Barbarians also knew that the fire was very
important to their lives.
The daily necessities, such as lighters and matches, were too small for the Barbarians. Their fingers
were too thick and it’s hard for them to use the lighters and matches well. Moreover, after the matches
were all consumed, the Barbarians had to buy new ones.
The natural and durable flint was quite big, and it was more suitable for the operation of the Barbarians.
Christina should be able to make money.
Christina and Samba decided to return to the rocky area
“… What are these stones?”
From the first day Christina entered the island, she was attracted by these black rocks of different
sizes. The rocks weighted hundreds of tons and were scattered all over the island, especially in the
rocky area.
Samba didn’t know what Christina was going to do. He looked at her, and it seemed that Christina was
interested in these stones.
“Where did these stones come from?” Christina looked at Samba and asked repeatedly on purpose.
Sanba looked at her and thought for a long time. Then his thick fingers pointed to the sky.
Under Christina’s influence, Samba also learned some body language.
Samba picked up a pile of small gravel from the ground, and then he threw all the small gravel on the
ground from high.
“… You mean, all the stones here fell from the sky?”
Meteorite.
Christina was really surprised. The stones were meteorites.
At that time, when so many meteorites collided with this land, there must be a great disaster. The earth
and the mountains were shaking. The entire island was burned up and the people were plunged into an
abyss of misery.
This island did have a devastating disaster. There were many legends about these stones. The old
Matriarch said that these stones killed many people, and the fierce fire burned on the entire island all
the forests and nrav
disappeared. The rivers dried up and the sky was gray,
. Finally, the owner of Island saved them.
Samba himself could not understand these legends, and he was not interested in these stones
because they could not be eaten.
Samba told Christina everything he knew.
Unfortunately, Christina could not understand the Aboriginal Language at all.
From Samba’s expression, Christina could see some awe and scruples, as if he had said something
terrible.
“… Are you afraid of these meteorites?”
Christina could only guess so.
In fact, the Barbarians were not afraid of meteorites, and they would sleep on them. They were afraid of
the Owner of Island.
Christina had already started to learn the aboriginal language, but she really couldn’t understand what This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
the Barbarians was saying.
Christina squatted down and seriously picked up the smaller meteorite on the ground.
The dark blue fluorescent could be seen in the black meteorite under the light, and the texture of the
meteorite was very hard.
“Ouch…” Christina frowned in pain.
She accidentally cut her finger with a sharp stone. The wound was deeper than she imagined and
blood flowed
out.
Samba’s eyes widened as he watched Christina’s fingers bleed. He immediately ran over and spoke
loudly, as if he was educating Christina.
Although Samba worried about it, Christina herself did not care about this injury.
Christina took the water from the kettle, washed the wound, and pressed her hand on the wound. After
ten minutes, the bleeding gradually stopped. Christina was tough.
She was now more interested in these meteorites. “The density is so high. If the stones are all sharp,
they might be more useful than iron.”
Unfortunately, the density was too high and the stone couldn’t be polished.
The big meteorites should have collided with each other during the disaster and caused so much
gravel.
The shapes of the small stones were different. Some of them were long, and the sharper ones could be
made into spears or knives
Christina found a long, pointed meteorite and a straight tree pole. Then she asked Samba to tie the
small meteorite to the top of the tree pole with hemp rope, just like a spear.
Christina picked up the meteorite spear and she threw it hard towards a big tree in front of her. The
sharp meteorite was firmly inserted into the tree. It was a good weapon.
Samba watched it surprisingly.
Christina handed the spear to Samba and pointed to a hare that had just emerged from a hole not far
away.
Samba quickly understood it. He was strong and skillful. Samba threw the spear, and the hare did not
expect a sharp weapon to fall from the sky.
The rabbit became their lunch.
“… Samba, this spear will be your weapon. If someone bullies you, you can use this against them. We
will never let anyone bully us!”
Samba did not understand Christina’s words, but he understood that Christina gave this weapon to
him. Samba was very happy.
Christina gave it to him.
Christina and Samba were looking for more small and oval meteorites, which were most suitable to be
used as
flints.
Samba saw that Christina had been picking stones, and he followed her example. Soon, he picked up
a lot of small oval meteorites.
It had to be said that Samba had a very strong learning ability.
“… We’re going to take all these to the market to sell.” After picking the stones for half a day, Christina
found that it was difficult to transport these stones which weighed at least a thousand kilograms.
There were no trucks on the island. And it took two days to walk from the rocky area to the market.
In the end, Christina had to use the most primitive method,
Christina asked Samba to find a lot of vines, which were flexible and unbreakable, Christina wasn’t
good at handiwork. Fortunately, she could make a net. Although it was ugly, she could make it as
dense as possible.
This bug net made of vines could hold these stones, Christina made two such big nets, with about 500
kgs of stones on both ends, and found a strong tree trunk
Samba was like a huge farmer, carrying stones on both sides of his shoulders. He walked step by step,
carrying a thousand kgs of stones. It seemed that he walked with ease.
Samba even wanted to carry Christina. He thought that Christina had not fully recovered.
Christina had been busy with making tools. She was so tired that she panted, but she waved her hand.
“No, you don’t have to carry me. I have to do it.”,
She made herself two small nets with 50 kgs of stones on both sides.
The sun was shining brightly above them. Christina and Samba were walking with stones on their
shoulders. When they were tired, they stopped to rest.
Christina had never done any heavy work since she was born and it was the first time she did that. Her
shoulders were sore and painful, but in order to earn money, she gritted her teeth and endured. She
had to take these stones to the market to exchange for gold no matter what.
“Make money, make money!” In order to make money, Christina had to make it.
Christina was suddenly confused when she brought these flints to the market after a lot of hard work.
She had no experience in business.
How should the flint be priced?
Lighters were expensive. A lighter costed at least a piece of gold.
However, Christina’s flint raw materials were completely free. Flint was a novel thing for the Barbarians.
If the Barbarians could not accept it, it would be worthless.
Christina was not in a hurry to set up a stall to sell the goods. Instead, she found a hidden place to put
these stones away, and then took Samba around the market to see how other Barbarians did business.
After two days of observation, Christina had a little experience.
It turned out that the Barbarians had no rules about pricing.
With the same iron pot, the Barbarians could buy three cows or a pig.
Besides, the Barbarians’ stalls were not fixed. Whoever came first and occupied a place, the place
belonged to
him. And they didn’t care how much space others would occupy,
The rules for the Barbarians to make money and what they sold all depended on their mood.
